[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most men (high earners in particular) don't care what a woman's job title is, how much she earns, or what she owns. They care that she is attractive and in good physical shape, has a nice, pleasant personality and would make a great mother. Full stop, that's the full list.

That's why professional women are always so confused when the high-status, handsome man they were pursuing goes for the pretty, easy-going barista/daycare worker who loves kids. [/quote]

This is wrong. Well-educated and high earning men marry equally well-educated high-status women. These couples also have lower divorce rates than less well-educated, poorer couples.[/quote]

This.

You need to read this:

The author makes the point that way back when -- 60s or 70s -- Doctor married nurse, lawyer married secretary.  But now, doctor marries doctor and lawyer marries lawyer.

Point above is also correct.  Divorce rate is tiny for those with income over $1 million.[/quote]

But you're not telling the whole story. We might not get divorced, but we are not any happier with our spouses than "ordinary" people. We just have more to lose if we get divorced. So our husbands cheat and sometimes we do too. Very cautiously.

The saddest couples I know are two-lawyer, three-kids-in-DC-privates, heavy drinking couples. They are miserable. If the wives stay home, the husbands treat them like garbage because they're so resentful.

I know a couple like that. The wife resents the husband, because the wife is more successful. Such an effed up dynamic for the kids to grow up in.[/quote]
